BEAR'S last day in Paris

BEAR sends you a last bisous/kiss from Paris. It's been such a lovely trip and the weather co-operated perfectly - plein de soleil et pas trop de pluie! BEAR did notride a Velib - too busy running. BEAR did go to a FAB croissant tasting at Amy's, who didn't know she live in a 'chambre de bonne'once a maid's room. Amy fell in love with all the gorgeous views of Paris.

Carol was in 7th heaven with all thepate de tartiner spreads(caramel au beurre sale, cocoa-honey, noisette, bla bla bla ) she brought along to put on those croissants. Carol forgot to take serious notes in her ummm state of spread-ecstacy.

Was one of the spreads I saw Speculoos? I heard about it and bought some at the Monoprix for our breakfasts there last month. We finished it before we left for Greece - now I need to find some in the U.S.A.!

Welcome home Carol and Bear!Will your Jet lag be well enough behind you so you can greet fans at your reception, in Philly, at the end of this week? And will Bear be there? I hope you have a very nice evening at the event, and many sales of your beautiful art.Bill

Wow! Bear has had a real buzz... I was pleased to see him eyeing off that healthy salad and reading the label on the vin blanc ( or was it le vin rouge) Love the pics I'm sure you're both ready for a bit of snooze time. ~Dianne~

Yes welcome back and glad you had a safe trip home. I enjoyed it all with you and Bear. Sounds like he had a fun trip even if he didnt get to do all those things. Hope you catch up with that jet lag soon.

Bonjour Carole,Glad you and Bear made it home safely. He is a good traveler isn't he? Didn't make it to the Salon de Chocolat this year, afraid my waistline could not handle it again. Perhaps on one of your trips we can meet up over a jar of chocolat spread - I would love to meet Bear!Take care and rest up,Mimi

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
